Chapter7 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using the Interface Command
Use the no define interface-range macro_name global configuration command to delete a macro.
When using the define interface-range global configuration command, note these guidelines:
Valid entries for interface-range:
vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, where VLAN ID is from 1 to 4094
fastethernet slot/{first port} - {last port}, where slot is 0
gigabitethernet slot/{first port} - {last po rt}, where slot is 0
port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where port-channel-number is
from 1 to 6.
You must add a space between the interface numbers and the hyphen when entering an
interface-range. For example, fastethernet 0/1- 5 is a valid range; fastethernet 0/1-5 is not a valid
range.
The VLAN interfaces must have been configured with the interface vlan command. The show
running-config privileged EXEC command output shows the configured VLAN interfaces. VLAN
interfaces that do not appear by using the show running-config command cannot be used as
interface-ranges.
All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet
ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs, but you can combine multiple interface types in a
macro.
This example shows how to define an interface-range macro named enet_list to select Fast Ethernet
ports 1 to 4 and to verify the macro configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range enet_list fastethernet0/1 - 4
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running-config | include define
define interface-range enet_list FastEthernet0/1 - 4
This example shows how to create a multiple-inte rface macro named macro1:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 gigabitethernet0/1 - 2, fastethernet0/5 - 7
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to enter interface range configuration mode for the interface-range macro
enet_list:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range macro enet_list
Switch(config-if-range)#
Step3 interface range macro macro_name Select the interface range to be configured by using the values saved
in the interface-range macro called macro_name.
You can now use the normal configuration commands to apply the
configuration to all interfaces in the defined macro.
Step4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step5 show running-config | include define Show the defined interface-range macro configuration.
Step6 copy running-config startup-config (O ptional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
